More From Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Religion is nothing but institutionalized mysticism. the catch is, mysticism does not lend itself to institutionalization. the moment we attempt to organize mysticism, we destroy its essence. religion, then, is mysticism in which the mystical has been killed. or, at least diminished.
Essence Doe Moments
Of course, mysticism is very hard to isolate because, given the kind of consciousness that i was sort of instructed in as religious consciousness; that borders on mysticism so closely that it's hard to know whether you qualify or not, or whether mysticism is artificially isolated when it is treated as a separate thing from experience. obviously, mysticism can be a form of madness, but then consciousness can be a form of madness.
Religious Borders Madness
Rational thinking which is free from assumptions ends therefore in mysticism. to relate oneself in the spirit of reverence for life to the multiform manifestations of the will-to-live which together constitute the world is ethical mysticism. all profound world-view is mysticism, the essence of which is just this: that out of my unsophisticated and naïve existence in the world there comes, as a result of thought about self and the world, spiritual self-devotion to the mysterious infinite will which is continuously manifested in the universe.
Spiritual Thinking Self
Pseudo-mysticism seeks to evade reality; authentic mysticism wants to live it.
Reality Want Pseudo
The middle ages were an era of mysticism, ruled by blind faith and blind obedience to the dogma that faith is superior to reason. the renaissance was specifically the rebirth of reason, the liberation of man's mind, the triumph of rationality over mysticism - a faltering, incomplete, but impassioned triumph that led to the birth of science, of individualism, of freedom.
Men History Mind
The three values which men had held for centuries and which have now collapsed are: mysticism, collectivism, altruism. mysticism — as a cultural power — died at the time of the renaissance. collectivism — as a political ideal — died in world war ii. as to altruism — it has never been alive. it is the poison of death in the blood of western civilization, and men survived it only to the extent to which they neither believed nor practiced it.

Swaraj is not meant for cowards, but for those who would mount smilingly to the gallows and refuse even to allow their eyes to be bandaged.

Ah! the best righteousness of our man-of-war world seems but an unrealized ideal, after all; and those maxims which, in the hope of bringing about a millennium, we busily teach to the heathen, we christians ourselves disregard.

The trouble is that once america goes off to war, it can't very well return without having fought one. if it doesn't find its enemy, for the sake of the enraged folks back home, it will have to manufacture one. once war begins, it will develop a momentum, a logic and a justification of its own, and we'll lose sight of why it's being fought in the first place.
